The good news is that the new proposed mechanism is a better approach and will likely fix the problem for more machines. I am therefore focusing my efforts on backporting the new proposed mechanism to Ubuntu Maverick (2.6.35 kernel) and I expect to publish a Maverick PPA kernel (and the patches) here soon. This work is not likely to make it into the Maverick release in October. I have not yet evaluated whether or not it will be possible to backport this new mechanism to Ubuntu Lucid. Some folks have asked whether I'm planning to port my "i915bri" patch to Maverick or other 2.6.35-based distros: Since the new mechanism will soon be available for Maverick, I do not intend to do so.
